Today in the House of Commons, James Wild MP urged the government to unlock road infrastructure funding for A10 West Winch Housing Access Road
Text of Speech:
James Wild, MP for North West Norfolk:
Thousands of new homes are planned in King’s Lynn in my constituency, but that development requires transport and other infrastructure, so will the Secretary of State work with the Transport Secretary and the Chancellor to unlock the funding for the A10-West Winch housing access road so that that development can proceed?
Angela Rayner, Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government:
Again, there is a challenge that we have inherited. I hope that the hon. Member’s area has a local plan for what is required and can therefore push for that infrastructure as part of its section 106. I will happily engage, through the Minister, on that particular issue, but I am wondering whether the hon. Member was in the Chamber yesterday and realises what a mess his Government left us in.
